Cigar lighter fuse on RT/10 not in engine bay

[santo]

For the record (for search purposes), my cigar lighter was not working when I bought the car. I checked the fuses in the engine compartment and the 25A fuse that was supposed to be for the cigar lighter and some other stuff was okay. I also took apart the plasatic surround in the console and the wires were fine.

With a tip here (and a post I cannot find now) I looked under the dash to the left of the steering column and found that #20 was used for the lighter which was hard to get out because it was blocked partially by a metal bracket. Replacing this fixed the lighter.

This was on a 2001 RT/10.

Hope this helps,
Santo

EVERYTIME you unplug the lighter it blows that dam fuse

LOL, I kicked myself for this one not long ago. I forget that the Gen-2 cars have THREE fuse boxes.
